Margaret Evans

Margaret Evans brings to WBUR a perspective that comes from living and working on both sides of the globe.

Originally from Australia, Margaret was a reporter and producer for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation before switching to television as an associate producer for the Australian ’60 Minutes.’

In 1986, Margaret moved to Boston where, for years, she was Nightside Producer of Monitor Radio’s ‘Early Edition.’ She joined WBUR’s News department in 1998.

As a freelance journalist, Margaret has worked at The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, ‘The World’ for PRI-BBC, and the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Margaret is also an independent producer of oral histories and commemorative documentaries.

A top aide to Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, at the center of an investigation into deleted e-mails, is taking an unpaid leave of absence. The mayor’s office announced late Tuesday that Michael Kineavy sought the departure.
